Detective Sergeant Kay Redfern from the forces public protection unit said: "This was a complex case involving two very scared girls and - as with most victims of child sexual exploitation - they were reluctant to give details at first as they were fearful of repercussions.

"I would like to thank them for their bravery and I hope this sentence goes some way in helping them move forward with their young lives.

"We are satisfied with the sentence handed to Amin, which sees him taken out of the community for a considerable time and unable to exploit other young girls.

"Sexual abuse is an abhorrent crime which we are committed to stamping out. We hope this case shows that we take all reports of child sexual exploitation extremely seriously, giving other victims the confidence to come forward, safe in the knowledge they will be listened to, supported and protected from future abuse."
